The cut command. Really simple question!

hi, sorry for asking what I am sure is a really easy question, I am wanting to cut the users real name from the output of 'finger'.

$ cut -f2-3 filename

is in my script but it only seems to cut the first line.

I need to cut the 2nd and 3rd word from each line and store them in variables to echo later.

I have been reading the web for ages, and all suggests the above line of code.

Thanks!
